Could it be that Cao Cao remembered the wrong way?

No, last time he and Xiahou and Guan Yu obviously walked out of this tunnel.

Could it be that you have taken the wrong fork?

No, although there are twists and turns in the tunnel, I didn't find a fork in the road!

Cao Cao approached with a torch, only to find that someone had blocked the tunnel. He remembered that at first it was passable, but then it was blocked.

Moreover, it was made of large stone strips one by one, and Cao Cao tried to push it with his right hand, but he didn't move at all.

The old man also came to help, and he carried his internal force to his palms and slapped it on the big stone. In the muffled sound, the earth fell from the tunnel, but the big stone bar still did not move.

It's all here, and naturally no one wants to give up halfway. The wind seniors tried a few more times, but except for the slag that fell off each person's body, there was no sign of opening up the way out.

It seems that there should be something else behind these big stones. Originally, it was in line with the internal force of Cao Cao and Feng's predecessors, and he could force it again, but he was worried that the stone bar would collapse the tunnel if he did not move.

What to do?

Is there only one way to go back?

Even if the three of them are a little unwilling, what can they do?

In the faint light of the fire, frustration was written on everyone's face.

As I walked back, I guessed who did it.

Zhang Jiao is the most likely, last time it was because Cao Cao and others suddenly appeared in the Hegu Temple from the tunnel, and finally broke Zhang Jiao's big event, it must be that he was annoyed and angry, and sent someone to block the tunnel.

That's not right, if Zhang Jiao sent someone to do it, he only needs to fill in the tree hole to death, so why bother to get some big stones?

But who else but Zhang Jiao will do this?

I hadn't walked far, and suddenly I felt as if something was moving under my feet, and from time to time I could feel my legs and feet being hit by that thing.

Cao Cao hurriedly lowered the torch, and sure enough, he found a black shadow rushing by, and then quickly disappeared.

The three of them hurriedly stopped, made all the torches illuminate the ground, and searched for a long time, but found nothing.

This is strange, could it be a hallucination caused by depression?

Moving on, the black shadows suddenly reappeared, and not one, but a pair.

Cao Cao's hands were quick, the torches were low to the ground, and the black shadow was finally revealed.

It turned out to be two mice.

Moreover, it is much larger than the usual rats, fat and large, and it is simply a 'big' rat.

Amazingly, they didn't seem to be afraid of people, two rats were lying on the ground, raising their heads high, and four green eyes were spinning, staring at Cao Cao and the others.

Suddenly seeing such two huge mice, Princess Sanssouci was a little panicked, snorted, and hid behind Cao Cao.

Perhaps frightened by her, the rat arrows that were originally squatting on the ground pounced on Princess Sanssouci at the same time, and the movements were so fast that they were lightning fast.

Cao Cao had no weapon in his hand, so in a hurry, he used the torch as a sword, and the torch flew out of his hand and smashed one of the rats into the air.

But the other mouse had already pounced on Princess Sanssouci and bit her left calf.

"Ahh

Princess Sanssouci was in pain and itchy, and she fainted instantly.

At the same time, the sword of the old man Feng was also unsheathed, and the two swords were 'swished', and the two mice were in different places.

Cao Cao hurriedly squatted down to check the princess's injury, only to see that the wound was red and swollen, and purple-red blood leached out.

"It's not good, it's toxic. The old man was shocked.

Cao Cao didn't dare to be careless, and immediately squeezed the wound with his hand to squeeze out the rat poison. After squeezing for a while, the color of the blood was still purple and black, and Cao Cao knew that the toxin could not be cleaned up like this, so he lowered his head and sucked the wound with his mouth.

"Young heroes, you will also be poisoned. "The wind veteran kindly reminded.

Cao Cao didn't answer, he sucked one bite after another, until the blood turned red, then he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "The younger generation has already been poisoned by Zhang Jiao's 'rotten heart', and you might as well have another poison." “

Seeing that there was blood oozing from the wound on Princess Sanssouci's slender and fair slender legs, Cao Cao tore off one of his clothes and carefully wrapped her wound, and smiled comfortingly.

In fact, Princess Sanssouci had woken up at this time, Cao Cao's every move, she saw it in her eyes, warm in her heart, her eyes looked at Cao Cao's delicate face contour, and she couldn't help but be stupid.

Originally, her ankle had been broken once, so she couldn't walk anyway, so she had to be carried by Cao Cao.

Princess Sanssouci was lying on Cao Cao's back obediently, her body was tightly attached, and in the dark and damp tunnel, she could clearly feel his warm body temperature, she closed her eyes, and suddenly felt infinitely happy.

As soon as he left, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling, and the movement was getting deeper and louder.

There was a situation, the old man led the way with a sword, and Cao Cao followed closely.

In the firelight, I saw a 'surge' of black pressure in the distance, and it didn't take long to realize that it was a group of countless rats.

All of them are similar to the two that they just killed. At the same time, there was also a fishy smell in the air, and the three of them all covered their noses with their hands.

It's too bad, so many rats, almost blocking the road, what should I do?

The wind old-timers waved torches to chase the mice, and it really worked, these elves who have lived in the dark for a long time are a little afraid of light, and wherever the torches go, the rats dodged one after another.

The three of them were about to walk through the rat pile, but they saw the rats hula rushing towards the two rats that were killed, and in a short time they devoured their companions, leaving only two white bones.

It was terrifying, Princess Sanssouci had never seen such a scene, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

They even eat their own kind, will they .....? Princess Sanssouci didn't dare to think about it.

Afraid of something, the group of rats finished eating their dead companions, sniffed the smell, and stared at Princess Sanssouci again, perhaps because her wounds emitted the smell of 'rat-trapping'.

Cao Cao and the Feng seniors also discovered the motives of the group of rats, but fortunately, they still had torches to defend themselves, and the group of rats were still a little afraid, so they used this only advantage to drive away the group of rats while moving forward quickly.

The rats persevered and chased after each other, and they couldn't miss out on such a delicious 'rat lure'!

Some restless rats flew over, but fortunately, the wind seniors were superb in swordsmanship and killed them one by one.

It's a pity that such a magical swordsmanship is now used to deal with mice, but I am afraid that the wind seniors have been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and they can't expect the current scene.

But this added a new trouble, and each mouse that was beheaded immediately became a new food for the mouse, and after eating, the rat still chased after it.

The more you kill, the heavier the fishy smell in the tunnel, the more it can stimulate the nerves of the rats, and the more you can easily get 'food' after the three of them, so you won't let go of Cao Cao and the three.

It's not a way to go on like this, it's still far from the exit of the tunnel, and if you're not careful, you'll be bitten by one of them.

I remember that when Cao Cao chased the big snake into the tunnel for the first time, he also questioned what such a big snake fed on, and now it seems that nine times out of ten it is this countless rat.

But what do these rats feed on?

There is nothing to eat in the tunnels, is it ..... someone to provide them with food?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao was shocked, could it be Zhang Jiao's doing?

No wonder I didn't encounter them the last time I came to the tunnel!

No wonder someone blocked the end of the tunnel with a big stone bar!

These giant rats, presumably, should not have been in the tunnel for long.

What's the use of raising these rats?

"Could it be that they are ..... Earth Dragon Rats?" exclaimed the Wind Senior.

"Earth Dragon Rat?" Cao Cao seemed to have heard the name from somewhere.

It's a pity that I didn't have time to think about it, because the group of rats chased very closely, and when they passed a corner, some of the giant rats had already exceeded three people, blocking the way.

There is an interception in front, and there is a chasing 'soldier' in the back, so what can I do?

At a glance, they saw the ear room next to them, and the three of them had no choice but to retreat in.

But he also forced himself into a desperate situation, and the big 'soldiers' pressed the situation, but there was no way out.

Cao Cao gently placed Princess Sanssouci in the corner of the wall, holding a torch in his hand, using it as a weapon, and the sword of the old man Feng was across his chest, cautiously staring at the every move of the group of rats.

If there is a group of Yellow Turban Army in front of you, or even a group of martial arts masters, the two of them are not afraid at all, the two of them are not weak in martial arts, and they can still fight, but in the face of a group of rats, even if you are a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes, you have no experience in facing the enemy.

"Wind senior, what you just said...... Earth dragon rat?"

"Yes, this is a rat species unique to Jiangdong, huge, ferocious and tyrannical, eats meat and does not eat vegetarian, the locals call it 'man-eating rat', and it is much smarter than ordinary rats. “

"Man-eaters?" Princess Sanssouci was startled when she heard these three words.

"Oh, I remember, seven years ago, Jiaozhou Shijin rebelled, occupied Jiaozhi County and proclaimed himself the king of Lingnan, and later cultivated a group of dragon rat army to besiege Panyu County, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Shixie was at a loss, thinking of the safety of the people in a county, and ordered the deputy general Zhu Fu to rush out of the siege and ask the court for help. After receiving the urgent report, the imperial court ordered Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Yangzhou Assassin Liu Jian to send reinforcements at the same time, because it was the 'rat army' to deal with, in order to avoid the plague, the court also recruited many doctors to go with them, and the younger teachers were also recruited. “

"Then, did you go, Brother Cao?"

"No, there are many people with superb medical skills in the 'Five Fowl Gate', and our Five Fowl Sword Sect only knows how to practice swords, so we have not transferred manpower. ”

"Yes, the old man has also heard about that incident, and I heard that many disciples of your sect died in Jiaozhou because of this, and the imperial court also issued a decree to reward the Chinese divine doctor. ”

"In fact, a small rebellion in Jiaozhi County does not need people from Sanzhou at all, just because the Han family is weak, and the prefectures and counties are powerful, and many local troops and courts cannot be requisitioned at all. Yi and Jing were basically stationary, only Yangzhou sent a man, or stop-and-go, and by the time they arrived, the rebellion had already been put down for a long time. “

"Do you know how that rebellion was quelled?"

"This junior doesn't know very well. ”

"As far as the old man knows, it was the joint reinforcements of the 'Iron Boat Gang' and the 'Jiang ASEAN' that relieved the siege of Panyu. ”

These two names, Cao Cao is naturally familiar, Sun Ce of the 'Jiang ASEAN' is still a good friend, as for the 'Iron Boat Gang', isn't everything that happened these days because of him?

According to the Mo couple, Wang Jianfeng, the leader of the Iron Boat Gang, sent people to Qinghe to steal the 'dragon bone', and Cao Cao did not have a good impression of him.

But the old Feng seniors said that the Iron Boat Gang had also helped to relieve the suffering of the people of Panyu, and the two were so different that Cao Cao couldn't help but be confused.

Don't think about this for the time being, what Cao Cao wants to know most at this time is whether it is Jiang ASEAN or the Iron Boat Gang, what method did they use to deal with those earth dragon rats?

Because Cao Cao saw clearly, the group of rats in front of the three of them was already ready to move, ready to attack.
